Prompt

Create a 55-second vertical 9:16 TikTok video. Style: dark fantasy animation, cinematic, mysterious, symbolic, not realistic, not graphic. IMPORTANT: Use ONE deep male cinematic narrator voice, rich and authoritative, like Morgan Freeman. No subtitles. No continuous on-screen text. Only one short cinematic location title at the beginning. No character dialogue. Narration only. Smooth automatic transitions. Use a constant dark mystery atmospheric music track throughout the entire video to prevent abrupt audio jumps. Particle effects: mist, snow, smoke, embers. Strong shadows, dramatic lighting, slow motion emphasis. Opening (0:00–0:03) Extreme close-up of swirling mist with sudden light flare, fast cinematic motion to grab attention immediately. Centered cinematic location title in subtle serif font: "SIBERIA" Text fades out quickly into fog. Scene 1 (0:03–0:08) Animated snowy village covered in fog, slow cinematic zoom. Narrator: "In the frozen north, a shadow moves unseen among the quiet streets." Scene 2 (0:08–0:14) Hooded silhouette moving through a misty palace hallway. Narrator: "Light flickers across the walls as the figure passes, casting long, shifting shadows." Scene 3 (0:14–0:20) Empty halls and candlelight, shadows dancing. Narrator: "Whispers of the wind seem to follow, stirring echoes through the dark corridors." Scene 4 (0:20–0:27) Silhouette kneeling beside a glowing symbol on the floor, golden light descending softly. Narrator: "A presence felt but unseen, calm and mysterious, bending the mist around it." Scene 5 (0:27–0:34) Wide palace chamber, fog rolling in, dramatic shadow play. Narrator: "The halls stretch endlessly, silent except for the distant rumble of storm clouds." Scene 6 (0:34–0:43) Storm clouds above palace rooftops, fog drifting over frozen rivers. Narrator: "The night holds its breath, every movement magnified, every shadow alive." Scene 7 (0:43–0:53) Frozen river at night, black water under thin ice, silhouette dissolving into mist, distant clouds rolling. Narrator: "The darkness lingers, a presence felt but never seen, watching from the shadows." Final second (0:53–0:55) Music continues as dark mystery track. Very subtle distorted whisper with slight echo and reverb: "A shadow in the mist." Global tone: Dark fantasy animated style. No graphic violence. No explicit content. No political symbols. Maintain suspenseful pacing. Cinematic dark mystery music plays continuously throughout the video, builds gradually, and fades only at the very end. Output: 55-second vertical TikTok-ready video.

AI Text‑to‑Video Template: Turn Ideas into High‑Impact Video in Minutes

Transform any written idea into a polished, share‑ready video using Magic Hour’s Text‑to‑Video tools. This template is designed for creators, marketers, founders, and technical teams who need to prototype concepts, explain products, or generate content at scale—without a camera crew or editing timeline.

What This Template Does

This template shows how to go from a short text prompt to a complete AI‑generated video. You can:

Visualize product concepts or feature launches
Create explainer videos and onboarding flows
Prototype ad creatives and landing page videos
Generate social clips for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram
Storyboard or pre‑viz for film, animation, or game design

Under the hood, it’s powered by Magic Hour’s Text‑to‑Video model, which converts natural language descriptions into coherent, animated scenes.

How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You can create your own version of this template in a few minutes:

Start with Text‑to‑Video
- Go to Text‑to‑Video.
- Describe the scene you want: subject, style, camera motion, lighting, mood, and any key actions.
- Example:
  “Slow cinematic shot of a founder presenting a startup pitch deck in a modern office, soft natural lighting, shallow depth of field, subtle camera dolly forward.”
Refine the Look and Style
- Iterate on your prompt: specify art style (realistic, anime, 3D, hand‑drawn), color palette, or setting.
- For stylized content, you can pre‑generate key frames using the AI Art Generator or AI Illustration Generator, then describe those visuals in your text prompt.
Add Faces, Characters, or Personalization (Optional)
- Create character‑driven variations of your video:
  - Use Face Swap Video to place your face or an actor’s face into the generated scenes.
  - Generate unique characters with the AI Character Generator or AI Anime Generator, then reference that character’s look in your prompts.
  - For talking portraits or avatars, pair with AI Talking Photo or Lip Sync.
Iterate with Video‑to‑Video (Optional)
- If you already have reference footage or a basic version of your concept:
  - Upload it to Video‑to‑Video and describe how you want it transformed (style, environment, mood).
  - This is useful for A/B testing visual directions or quickly re‑skinning existing content for different campaigns.
Polish and Enhance
- Upscale and clean your final output for production use:
  - Use Video Upscaler for sharper, higher‑resolution results.
  - Use Auto Subtitle Generator to add captions for accessibility and higher engagement on social platforms.

Prompting Tips for Higher‑Quality Text‑to‑Video

When remixing this template, focus on making your prompts:

Specific about the subject
- Who or what is on screen? Age, clothing, environment, and activity.
Clear on style and mood
- “Cinematic,” “documentary,” “flat illustration,” “anime,” “3D render,” “hand‑drawn,” etc.
Descriptive about motion
- Camera directions like “slow zoom,” “tracking shot,” “overhead view,” or “handheld.”
Time‑bounded
- Indicate sequences or beats: “First… then… finally…”

You can also start from a strong still image (generated via AI Art Generator or AI Selfie Generator) and convert that into motion with Image‑to‑Video before further refining with Text‑to‑Video descriptions.

Combine With Other Magic Hour Templates

This Text‑to‑Video template works especially well when combined with:

Face Swap Video – personalize AI‑generated scenes with real faces.
Lip Sync – turn silent clips into talking content driven by your script and voice.
Video‑to‑Video – restyle or adapt existing footage into a new creative direction.
Animation – create stylized, character‑driven motion content from your concepts.

Use this template as a starting point, then remix it into your own content stack—whether you’re shipping product explainers, growth experiments, or full campaigns.
